oh of course

My head's been all over the place, that's all. I'll be fine, really.

[ Or: she got struck by lightning, is having a hell of a time trying to keep her identify straight, but doesn't want to talk about it. You know. Like an idiot. ]

The game is card-based. The disks read the information embedded in the cards to render the correct holograms.

[microbrobotics]

okay, okay ... i mean there's people here who can help with that kind of thing.

huhhh. cool. deckbuilding AND holograms.

[dragony]

You're familiar with that? Deckbuilding?

[ She would tell him he doesn't need to worry about her, but she's more distracted by his seeming understanding. ]

[microbrobotics]

well yeah. that kind of japanese card game was big when i was growing up. i mean yeah i like robots BEST and i don't really play any more but i used to love it.

[ In short, he's played some genericized version of Yu-Gi-Oh. ]

[dragony]

Huh. People usually make fun of me, the second I even imply it.

We've had Solid Vision hologram technology since the 1990's, so Duel Mobsters has been huge since then. It was already popular, but if you have a choice between a game on your computer with monsters on the screen, or seeing them in real space, it's pretty obvious which one is more entertaining. The racing component has only been around for a decade or two, I think.

[ Nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrds. ]

[microbrobotics]

[ Completely and utterly. ]

since the 90s? jeez i'm jealous. we DEFINITELY do not have that. god it sounds so cool. i'd probably have never given it up if we had that much.

[dragony]

It's too bad. In the previous world, the guy who invented that tech was ImPorted and reinvented it from scratch. I worked for him for a while, doing monster design. I still have my cards, but I don't have anything that would render the holograms themselves.

[ Well, that at least explains why even her roughs looked really good. ]

[microbrobotics]

let me try then. i won't be as good as the guy who INVENTED the tech but like i said i've made similar tech. just a matter of combining them.

[dragony]

If you want to, there's nothing to stop you. You've got the advantage of better hardware, anyway.

[ Because really... 1990's... they barely had cell phones... ]
